Sepia Saturday - the Olympics

This week's Sepia Saturday centers on sports because of the Olympics in London. This is a photo of my husband and myself at the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. The streets were full of people at all hours of the day. We could walk down the street and see the outdoor speed skating rink as we passed. We saw graceful ice dancing. We saw a hockey game but not the famous games when the American team beat the Russians or when they won the gold. Mostly I remember the amazing cold weather and the high level of patriotic pride in all our athletes.

Never been to any of the Olympic games. Too bad for me. I did find your previous post interesting about the Irish genealogy mag. I signed up. My ancestry is Tobin and Fitzgerald. I don't know any of the towns or counties they were from but I will continue looking. Thanks QMM
